A twin review of #MoldovanHotel and "Beast At Every Threshold" by Natalie Wee is in the latest issue of @arcpoetry magazine. Says @leahhorlick: "@YoDessa, you see my work more clearly than I do and write about it in ways I could only dream of—and in incredible company. 💙💜💙"

@_MarkSutcliffe @cmckenney Apologies are great but only when backed up by action. The citizens of Ottawa will be watching to see how you gender @cmckenney in the future and how you react to being called out in real time if and when it happens again. Mayoral candidates need to set a precendent for conduct.

rob kindly invited me to write a poem for @SiklosiK, and who am I to refuse such a lovely request? The result features knitting, grandmothers, repetition, hair, and hopefully all the admiration I hold for Kate Siklosi.
